Perhaps. The third alternative that for some inexplicable reason that I failed to include was the generation of a "light weight" .emacs.el that I use exclusively for tangling. When I configure my .emacs.el I build two of them, one for doing everything, and one just for tangling. I had to do so because an unrelated package that I use was screwing up org's export. Indeed things are probably stable enough, I just have been burned enough on other software systems that I at least have to worry about it :).
